Mirer to Brooks

[mirertobrooks]

I just had to post this one time since it's my handle. Just curious where you were, what you did when you saw it happen. In my opinion it was the greatest come from behind wins I've ever seen. There have been bigger deficits overcome, and stranger endings to a game, Joe Montana heroics, and what-not. But what a battle that was, classic plays, DD stuff at the goaline. The snow. Vengence for the previous two seasons. I sort of wish this game was being played in November.

For those of you that don't know or you youngsters, in 1992 ND played Penn St. at home in the famed Snow Bowl, down 16-9 Rick Mirer threw a 4 yd td pass to Jerome Bettis to make the score 16-15, Lou Holtz decided to go for the win and 2 pointer, no overtime back then. Mirer rolled out under pressure and threw a strike to Reggie Brooks, Brooks hung on somehow,(he wasn't know for his hands). ND stopped Penn St as they tried to throw up some hail marys, ND wins 17-16.

If you haven't seen this game go on EBAY and buy a copy, it's a must have in your collection.

There is a print out there somewhere that features a goal line stand where Richie Anderson(PSU) is attempting to go over the pile at the goal line and is stopped mid air by Jeff Burris(ND). Has anyone ever seen a copy or know where to get one. Tried just about everything but no luck. Would appreciate it if someone did know where to obtain a copy.

Not a bad game to go out on. Out of curiousity, who was the player on the team if you don't mind sharing?

I was in the stands as well. Last game of my senior year. I have been to several away games but not back to ND stadium. A memory that will last a lifetime. Even today, when I see that two point conversion I get nervous because I think Reggie will drop it!

Mirertobrooks - I got my tix for that one from one of the best friends a guy could ever ask the good Lord to bless you with - Demetrius DuBose (R.I.P., brother). Still too soon to go back for a game for me since his death, so I give my tickets away to people I know will enjoy the experience of a Notre Dame game each year.

Thanks for sharing that man. He was really something else, he gave a speech at a local Catholic high school from where I'm from once. The local paper did a huge write up on it. They also did a big write up when he passed. He touched alot of lives with a simple 30 minute speech. Locals still talk about it.

they just showed the toss to Bettis at half time

 

[mirertobrooks]

[isotopes]

A Rep point for sharing the experience with others.
